What disease is caused by a parasite that lives in certain mosquitoes and transferred to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito?
I am going away on a trip with my high school to Namibia. And their are lots of diseases that we have to be prepared for. Including Malaria , which is caused by a parasite that lives in certain mosquito. But, we have been advised to get a certain type of malaria tablet, as apparently the following year our teacher had tried a different medication and found that it gave him weird nightmares and hallucination. Hope this answered your question x

Why does the mosquito spread malaria?
Mosquitoes do not get malaria because malaria is a disease caused in humans by a parasite carried by mosquitoes, Plasmodium spp. When mosquitoes feed off the blood of an infected human, they also absorb the Plasmodium spp parasite. However, the Plasmodium spp. itself is not what causes malaria, and therefore cannot get a mosquito sick. Only when it reacts with the blood in a humans body does it take effect and cause the disease malaria. Mosquitoes then simply act as neutral hosts for the parasite before they land and release the Plasmodium spp. into the next human.
